Floor and ceiling show the lower and upper ends of the player's recent scoring range. The projection is the middle estimate after current role, matchup, and same-week availability are applied.

Why the model leans this way

Role first. Matchup second. Availability always visible.

Two relevant running-back options in a similar weekly range, compared through touches, receiving work, matchup and current availability.

Jahmyr Gibbs: recent role lowers the estimate, and the matchup is tougher. James Cook: recent role is near baseline, and the matchup helps.

Availability adjustments apply only when the source contains a Week 10 report. Older designations remain visible in the injury archive but do not reduce this projection.

Week 9 final result

James Cook scored more. The pregame lean was wrong.

Jahmyr Gibbs: 13.4 Half PPR · James Cook: 16.7 Half PPR.
